When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Walz is the DEI hire.

If you ask me, I'm upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can't get over race and gender.
You're viewing a single thread.
there are no black people, or white people. just shades of brown from light brown to dark brown.
I can't believe we still use that antiquated differentiator. there can be both "white" and "black" people in the same ethnic group
Missing the forest for the trees or whatever. It's not about skin colour but how society perceives and treats you. If Kamala isn't black then why is she being called a DEI hire when Hilary Clinton never was?

My point is that society perceives her as a black women. Saying shit like "there are no black people" is moronic in a society that values and scrutinizes race as much as ours does.
I don't know about being called a DEI hire, but I DO remember Hillary being called the worst possible option. I DON'T recall anyone calling Harris the worst possible option. Oddly enough in 2024, that would be Biden.
because DEI literally didnt exist in 2016 to the same level it does now?

That race is nearly meaningless in the rest of the world seems like a very sheltered and privileged viewpoint. There are riots in the UK regarding race and propaganda/misinformation. I'm guessing you live in a fairly homogeneous country if race/ethic background is never specified on various forms.
